Excellent food, great wine, professional friendly service. What else could you ask for?! One of my favourite places to eat. Worth every mile of the journey from Derbyshire. Thank you again. 😀.

Perfect in every way Can’t fault The Bustard, food great and service impeccable. Big shout out to Charlotte

Me and our kids had a wonderful time with their Mum on mothers day, very attentive staff, great service and food. All your staff and Charlotte who took us in and explained the menu choices and availability of items on the menu (Burgers and Fish and Chips off the bar menu) but the roast Sunday… Read more “Paul, March 2026”

Must be 10 years since I last sat down in The Bustard and I will definitely be back again sooner than that. Thank you so much for making our lunch so special. A 5 star review for a 6 star meal

Our first visit and really enjoyed our Sunday lunch, food was delicious, lovely ambience and great service- we will be back soon!

Fabulous Sunday lunch with my wife. Staff very attentive and food excellent. Will definitely book again.

Such a friendly welcoming pub in a pretty village. The food we had was outstanding and more akin to a fine dining restaurant than a pub but without the astronomical prices. Absolutely delicious. Hubby had the duck breast with delicious beetroot. This was gluten free and there were 6 gluten free main course options on… Read more “Melanie, February 2026”

Excellent Sunday lunch to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, we couldn’t fault it. We will certainly be visiting the Bustard again, would thoroughly recommend it!

We received a very warm welcome in this traditional village pub. We chose to eat in the bar next to the open fire, made our choices from the varied menu and was served, very well, to a great meal. The pub is spotless, very well decorated and soooooo cosy. I will look forward to returning… Read more “John (Tripadvisor), December 2025”

Love the food and staff at the Bustard Inn. Always great service with a smile and banter, food on christmas day was amazing. Will book again for the next one.

The best meal we’ve had for a long time! From the welcoming team, great wine & friendly service to the really delicious food – would absolutely recommend!

One of the best pub quizzes I’ve been to in a long time! A real community vibe going on!

Amazing meal to celebrate a birthday, wonderful food and setting. Staff are exemplary nothing is to much trouble but you never feel bugged or that they are hovering. Thank you for another wonderful evening

Fabulous welcome as always from Lesley and the team, food was exceptional, service perfect, atmosphere lively. Brilliant as usual Lesley 🙂

A great evening! We booked the Bustard Inn for a pre wedding family gathering. Lesley the owner was so helpful and arranged us a super finger buffet for our guests. She even waited for us on her evening off to make sure everything was ok. The homemade sausage rolls were moreish, the salads delicious and… Read more “Peter (Tripadvisor), October 2025”

My partner and I had a fabulous evening, the food was excellent. The staff however were what made the evening truly enjoyable; they were friendly, humorous and very welcoming. A lovely evening indeed. Thank you.

Beautifully cooked Sunday lunch. Generous portions and totally delicious. The cauliflower soup starter was so tasty and so was the homemade ice cream we had for dessert. The service was second to none. We would highly recommend!

Simply great kitchen Intense and complex flavours in all three courses made for a wonderful family supper. First days of the new autumn menu impacted the choices but we loved what we ate especially the short rib of beef and the rib eye. Delightful service delivered with humour and pride in what they were serving… Read more “36charlesw (Tripadvisor), September 2025”

We had a fabulous meal and the hostess and waiter made us feel very welcome. The chef was kind enough to come to the table when I asked about the ingredients to a dish we had as it was so delicious. Hope to return.

Another excellent meal at the Bustard Inn. Great food, excellent service, friendly and professional. A lovely place for a relaxing lunch in quiet surroundings. Top class! 😀

Fantastic! Fantastic lunch yet again at the brilliant Bustard Inn. Every course carefully prepared and delicious with great service as always from Lesley and her team.

Such a good value for money offer for Sunday lunch! Service was as lovely as always and the food was delicious!

We sat outside with our dog for a weekday lunch. The food which we had from the main menu was excellent and the staff very friendly. Will definitely return.

welcoming, warm & good food too Popped in here twice in a week long house hunting trip, we were the table 2 returners! lovely friendly staff, good food, beautiful area & location & the manager was just so welcoming to us.

We try to visit The Bustard when we are in the area; 4 ladies had a lovely meal. Beautifully presented food, very good quality and good taste. Good wine selection although the Riesling was not cold enough. All a little on the high price side. Puddings/deserts were not inspiring; rather stodgy so we gave it… Read more “Karen, July 2025”

Quite simply always a wonderful experience – food is consistently amazing and always provides a surprise or two – service is attentive without being intrusive – this is by far one of our favourite ‘go-to’ places to take family, friends or visitors and long may it continue – Thank you to Lesley as always (and… Read more “Chris, July 2025”

Exceptional My daughter and I enjoyed a lovely Father’s Day lunch here today. The food, the service and the beer were all exceptional.

Just brilliant. Our second time visiting within the month, so glad we found this gem of a pub. Couldn’t recommend more!

The soup was out of this world, the prawn cocktail was so tasty, although a slice of the amazing bread which came with the soup, would have added an extra something. The beef was to die for and without doubt, the best we have ever tasted.

As always food and service was faultless. Staff friendly and efficient. Looking forward to next visit for some more excellent food and service.

Comfortable surroundings with attentive staff. The food was extremely tasty and well prepared. Not a big menu but that does not detract from the different choices that are available. The quality of the wine far exceeds what is available in other establishments. The Merlot was particularly good. We have already booked for next month when… Read more “Dennis, May 2025”

Fantastic Luncheon in the Heart of Lincolnshire A beautiful bar & restaurant setting in the village of South Rauceby, with an attractive beer garden. A very dog friendly pub.

Our Sunday Lunch experience was excellent. The food was delicious and served with a range of vegetables. The staff were very friendly and attentive, without being overbearing – a perfect balance!

Another fantastic evening spent at The Bustard. Delicious food and excellent service as always. We’re incredibly lucky to have such a great pub as our local.

Meal with hubby We celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary. Brilliant place, service and the food was outstanding and full of flavours.

Fabulous pub with a warm welcome and excellent food Fantastic place and one of the few pubs that has a no dogs policy inside.
